Hunting for buried treasure has never been this much fun. You’re able to guide Doug deep down into the ground simply by dragging your finger all over the screen. Aim for anything that looks shiny and expensive, but try to avoid causing cave-ins because Doug isn’t all that fond of things landing on his head. On your journey through the earth you’ll also come across some nasty creatures that you must avoid at all costs. Try to dig deeper and find the most bling among your friends to rise to the top of the leaderboards.

Dangerous monsters are threatening life across the entire universe. It’s up to you to craft your own personal spaceship and join Space Jack’s quest to save the universe.

Your fallen enemies will drop Qubes, which you must collect in order to craft your own ship from scratch. Ship designs can be shared with other players, and you can even 3-D print your creations with a single tap.

Then follow along with the instructor as you perform each exercise for 20 seconds with 10 second breaks. None of the exercises require equipment, so you can perform them anytime, anywhere. The app also includes the ability to adjust the amount of sets for exercises, and all kinds of achievements to earn.
